A 68 kg man is in the prone position while during pushups. His feet and hands are 95 cm and 42 cm away respectively from his center of mass. What is the normal force exerted by on each (a) hand and (b) foot?
An auto magazine reports that a certain sports car has 53% of its weight on the front wheels and 47% on its rear wheels. (That is, the total normal forces on the front and rear wheels are 0.53w and 0.47w, respectively, where w is the car’s weight). The distance between the axles is 2.46 m. How far in front of the rear axle is the car’s center of gravity?
the anatomical structures in the lower leg and foot that are involved in standing on tiptoe, with the heel raised slightly off the floor so that the foot effectively contacts the floor only at point P. Assume distance a=-5.0 cm, distance b=15 cm, and the person’s weight W= 900 N. Of the forces acting on the foot, what are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (up or down) of the force at point A from the calf muscle and the (c) magnitude and (d) direction (up or down) of the force at point B from the lower leg bones?
